There are 5 Barret's Listed in the 7th Duchess County Malitia, but they are all spelled with one t not two. Any of those names look like Uncles or Brothers?
Barret, Isaac, Jr. Barret, Samuel Barret, William Barret, Isaac Barret, Justus
Somehow this Samuel keeps coming up in this direct line
On wiki we have different parents than on find a grave however I believe find a grave is correct but needs some sources or research see his F.A.G. Link
The parents for him on Wiki are very uncertain
